they've changed those bindings now, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+C all do what you think they do

Great, now the next time I'll use nano I surely will forget about this and get frustrated when trying to save a file with Ctrl+O

you still can, but I think Ubuntu and other prepacked distros will switch soon to the better bindings

Great so now I will mangle all my merge commits depending on which version the host is using.

I'm thinking Ctrl+C quits and Ctrl+S is scroll lock is that correct?

  • nano

    • Ctrl-Q search backwards
    • Ctrl-S and Ctrl-X is save file
    • Ctrl-V is scroll down
    • Ctrl-C is cancel or info
  • nano --modernbindings

    • Ctrl-Q quits
    • Ctrl-S is save file
    • Ctrl-X is cut
    • Ctrl-C is copy
    • Ctrl-V is paste
